About the OCICE

The Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering (OCICE) was established in 1984 by the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carleton University and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa, both located in the city of Ottawa. The OCICE was established to combine the research strengths of the two departments and to give students access to the professors, courses and facilities at both universities. Students register at the university with which their supervisor is affiliated but have access to the classes and facilities at both universities. With over 70 faculty members and with course offerings of more than 50 graduate courses, the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Civil Engineering is one of the biggest and most diverse Civil Engineering Research Institution in Canada

Although the primary language of the Institute is English, some courses in the Institute’s programs may be offered in French at the University of Ottawa, which is a bilingual university.
